At Night II of the two-night literary extravaganza that is the National Book Critics Circle's annual celebration of the best books of last year in six categories. Last night we had readings by about eighteen of the more than thirty finalists. Tonight will be the awards. Both sides of tonight's program are pictured here. Follow me on Twitter @philipsturner when the awards get going. John McPhee should be in the house--he's getting a lifetime achievement award, already announced and I've never heard him speak. #bookcriticism #NBCCawards
